cheating
Let an agent explain cheating and its forms, relay rules, detection and sanctions from sports, education and gaming sources, describe ethical and psychological perspectives with attribution, and decline any guidance on how to cheat or evade detection.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
